Hello PDE Team,
I have a problem that seems to be quite simple. But I just don't find a
solution neither with any documentation nor in archive of this newsgroup.
I have a plugin that should just export a third party jar to an other
plugin. To do that I followed
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/m sg06980.html
After that I opened a nested Eclipse instance using "Run as ... Eclipse
Application", created a plugin project and added the first plugin as
required plugin in the manifest. But if I try to use a class from the
third party jar in the source code, the second plugin in the nested
eclipse instance does not find it while it does find the Activator class
of the first plugin. I tested this with the final Ganymede release but I
don't get it to work.
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Sandro

Hello again ekke,
after thinking about it I wonder why it works anyway. ;-) For me it
looks like the difference is only that there is a bundle containing the
jar(s) exclusively without having it mixed with additional source code.
Is that right? Or is there any special flag that qualifies this as a
special bundle only for libraries? In my initial case I also exported
the libraries, put the jar into the bundle classpath and into the binary
build. Is there any documentation about bundling jars? Thanks in advance
for your feedback!
Bye,
Sandro

Sandro,
that should be really simple with ganymede:
* be sure that your external jar is part of the "Referenced Libraries"
of your project
then right-click PDE-Tools - Convert Jars to Plugins...
and voilá you have your plugin you need
* in the MANIFEST.MF file of this plugin, go to Runtime tab
and export the packages you need in other bundles (plugins)
* in your other plugin go to MANIFEST.MF and import the packages
instead of export / import you couls also use Bundle-Required
--
I dont know what kind of third party you're using
you should look at first if there already exist an OSGI bundle
good places to look are:
http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/
or
http://www.osgi.org/Repository/HomePage
